Prevalence of inherited blood disorders and associations with malaria and anemia in Malawian children (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 American Society of Hematology. In sub-Saharan Africa, inherited causes of anemia are common, but data are limited regarding the geographical prevalence and coinheritance of these conditions and their overall contributions to childhood anemia....

Combining two national-scale data sets to map soil properties, the case of available magnesium in England and Wales: combining two soil surveys (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Authors. European Journal of Soil Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Society of Soil Science. Given the costs of soil survey it is necessary to make the best use of available datasets, but data that differ wi...

Defining the habitat niche of Alopecurus myosuroides at the field scale (2018)
Journal Article

The distribution of Alopecurus myosuroides (black-grass) in fields is patchy. The locations of these patches can be influenced by the environment. This presents an opportunity for precision management through patch spraying. We surveyed five fields o... Read More about Defining the habitat niche of Alopecurus myosuroides at the field scale.

The singularity index for soil geochemical variables, and a mixture model for its interpretation (2018)
Journal Article

A geochemical anomaly is a concentration of an element or other constituent in a medium (soil, sediment or surface water) which is unusual in its local setting. Geochemical anomalies may be interesting as indicators of processes such as point contami...

When unlikely outcomes occur: the role of communication format in maintaining communicator credibility (2018)
Journal Article

The public expects science to reduce or eliminate uncertainty (Kinzig & Starrett, 2003), yet scientific forecasts are probabilistic (at best) and it is simply not possible to make predictions with certainty. Whilst an ‘unlikely’ outcome is not expect... Read More about When unlikely outcomes occur: the role of communication format in maintaining communicator credibility.

Analysis of variance in soil research: let the analysis fit the design (2018)
Journal Article

Sound design for experiments on soil is based on two fundamental principles: replication and randomization. Replication enables investigators to detect and measure contrasts between treatments against the backdrop of natural variation. Random allocat...

How should a spatial-coverage sample design for a geostatistical soil survey be supplemented to support estimation of spatial covariance parameters? (2018)
Journal Article

We use an expression for the error variance of geostatistical predictions, which includes the effect of uncertainty in the spatial covariance parameters, to examine the performance of sample designs in which a proportion of the total number of observ...
